The best shallac I ever got was from my mom when I was 6. The best shellacking in the country.
What was the mix sir?
Lol!
Skin some potatoes.
Bring them to a boil in water.
Remove the potatoes then let the water/starch Mixture cool.
Put in a spray bottle.
Spray over the hat.
won't it dry white?
No
one part got2b spiking glue to two parts water. mix and spray...works a charm
X Bolt take one ounce spiking glue and mix it in two ounces of water then spray it on and iron it.
This is basically a commercial, not a tutorial.
been wornger about this for a long time thx
Hi! great informational video. Do you have an idea how I could modify a hat base to make a larger felt brim? I need to make a really big, round crown, stiff brim hat for a costume! 😀 thanks 🙏🏻
what kind of stiffner do I use to not leave a gray residue on my black felt hat?
Can you tell me where I can get the correct shellac? This would help me do wonders when re-furbishing felt hats.
Be nice if you told us where we get some of that stuff
This doesn't really tell me where I can obtain the products needed to stiffen a hat just how.
Haemogoblin me podría decir que productos lleva la mezcla de goma acá en México no hay de eso siempre sigo sus vídeos saludos
Haemogoblin oj
This guy reminds me of the man on Joe dirt with the fireworks stand 😅 great video and information though
What kind of "Special Hat Stiffener" do you use?
I'd like to know more about the shellac as well. I tried the hairspray trick and it worked but not as well as I'd hoped.
Where can I purchase a steamer like you use in this video? Thank you
Use an iron on low heat with a high steam setting.
I like your hat
Siempre miro sus tutoriales
What about sweat stains on black felt?
So I bought a wide brim wool hat on line and the box that it came in was a tad smaller than the hat and so now the brim of the hat is a bit smashed in a weird way and I don't know how to make it flat like it was supposed to be in the first place can someone please help me out
Ivanna Echeverria Hi, probably too late now but simply steam (a kettle is fine) your brim then press it down onto a flat surface with your hand. until you get the shape you want.
Don't worry ur comment wasn't to late so thanks I did it and it works great 👍🏻 thanks again
Hi, I am Josh C.T. , I purchased some wool and dyed it black/brown. I want to felt a hat and have the shrunken size fit me. SO I made a form to soap and felt it on. How much does it shrink? I do not want it to be to small.
It depends on the way you put the Felt but like 3 centimeters
It depends on how much time you spend felting the wool and how hard but basically I apply around a 33% shrinkage allowance to mine. Measure your head and keep measuring the hat brim you are shrinking
How do you stiffen Akubra Wabbit hair hats?
Came here looking for the same answer mate!
you got an akubra "territory" wabbit hat?
There is no video on UA-cam about an Akubra stiffening. You’d get some hits if ya created one.
Your hat shellac science is not accurate. The shellac is the actual stiffener. It coats and soaks deep into the felt and hardens. The shellac is a very hard resilient material that comes from the lac beetle. It is then mixed with starches that stiffens or hardens the felt. If you look at felt under a microscope after the shellac mixture dries you’ll notice the felt it surrounded by the shellac/starch and have a crystalline texture.
Que pintura le aplican a un sombrero. Texano blanco
Acá en México no hay que producto natural se hace en casa para hacerlo la goma que elementos lleva me podría dece saludos
Hola es goma laca para madera diluida en alcohol pero no se las medidas
Que lo que le pone a la texana pero en español
How do you make shellac?
First, you get over the fact it's essentially bug poop.
You get shellac flakes or drops and dilute them in alcohol (ethanol?). You get the flakes from woodworking places or Home Depot (probably has a lot of additives). There are different colors of Shellac and grades. On a black hat it might not matter, but you'd have to be a villain of the movie (who works in the sun in a black hat?!).
@@lisawintler-cox1641 in what measures do you dilute them?
Just use polyurethane. Works better and you don't need to iron it
That's for dilute the shellac? Isn't it toxic I'm trying to stiffen felt shoes
@@marinabio2022 Nope its not toxic as long as you let the poly dry completely before you wear them. Use very little as too much will make them hard as a rock.
PLOP!
totally useless video when not telling what stiffener you use - "THUMB DOWN"!
